Baby Lisa's Parents: Cellphones Were Missing After Abduction

Detectives To Discuss Where The Search Should Go Next

As the search for 10-month-old Lisa Irwin enters its third day, Lisa's parents spoke to local and national media for a second time, pleading for the safe return of their daughter.

"She means everything to our two boys," said Lisa's mother Deborah Bradley as she fought back tears. "Everybody loves her, she's really playful and very sweet. She'll go to almost anyone."

"We ran around the house screaming for her, and I said, 'Call 911," Bradley said. "And the phones weren't on the counter where we left them." Bradley said three cellphones were taken, one of which was not working.

When asked how the couple were holding up, Bradley said she's having a hard time sleeping. "I've had a couple hours sleep, but not much," Bradley said. "Every time I close my eyes, I see her."

Police detectives met early Thursday morning and apparently decided to try a new ground search in the neighborhood. NewsChopper 9 spotted ATVs and officers searching some woods near the home, and KMBC's Jana Corrie saw officers checking manholes in the area.

There have been no major leads in the case, police said, since Lisa disappeared from her crib inside her home on North Lister Avenue between 10:30 p.m. Monday and 4 a.m. Tuesday.

St. Joseph, Mo., police received a tip late Wednesday that a baby matching the description of Lisa was spotted at a truck stop near St. Joseph. Surveillance video from the truck stop was to be turned over to Kansas City, Mo., detectives.

In addition to speaking KMBC 9 News and other local media outlets on Thursday morning, the parents also appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America."
